Greeneyes, I apologize I mixed up some UN and NATO and some unknown entity I named as NATO in my post last night. I was extremely tired but brain scrambled and running fast on too much caffeine. Let me try to clarify and provide more background.
My last statement was wrong. I meant I’ve been on the bandwagon of getting the US out of the UN.
Background on why I take note of this gossip of NATO marked vehicles: I taught at a technical college in Wichita Falls, the home of Sheppard Air Force Base, from 2001-2005. Many of my students were Airmen stationed at the base. I know many others on FR were like me during those years, much less aware of the DS in our country but some of the information i learned in casual conversation with the Airmen caused my distrust of NATO to rise and brought about more awareness of DS in the Bushes and more in our govt. My first shock was that after 9-11 and the beginning of war in ‘03, I learned that no one stationed at Sheppard would be deployed or involved at all. Sheppard is a NATO base. Later I encountered students who wore the light blue of NATO on their uniforms, some were not happy about this and spoke of possible concerns about taking orders from NATO that might be against patriotic interests. I can’t remember what the NATO insignia was on uniforms. In these discussions with enlisted airmen, NATO and the UN were sometimes used interchangeably. I should have paid more attention back then.
To correct my previous scrambled brain rambling, item 2 discussing the small town police was not NATO. I misspoke. The entity giving training to the police chief is unknown to me. I used information relayed by my cousin to assume it sounds like UN (not NATO) interference.
I can’t describe the emblems on cars I’ve seen on the interstate. It has the light blue color I became familiar with living near Sheppard AFB and the license plates are different. It is definitely NATO tho.
I do know our history and the importance of NATO during the cold war. After 30+ years of paying attention in class of current events and history I do not trust this NATO presence on our soil in the way I perceive it to be.
I’m sorry for run-on sentences. I just briefly checked for new Q drops and saw your reply. I have no time to catch up and study now but wanted to correct/clarify. Hope to catch up tomorrow or Tuesday.
Unfortunately, I think the D/S has compromised the EU/NATO group years ago. I have never supported the UN. Too bad there was no Henry Cabot Lodge to defeat that like he did the League of Nations.
Heck Goldwater and Schlafly warned about what we call the D/S and LSM successfully convinced most Americans that they were fruitcakes.
Schlafly wrote about the Bilderberg group. It was decades before I was able to find any additional info on them. Many people said they didn’t exist. And yet they did.
Well, your instincts were correct, Neighbor.
NATO is a globalist institution and it is difficult to see what benefit the U.S. derives from it anymore, now that the USSR is defunct.
Turkey should be recognized as an adversary at this point. They have criminalized Christianity. Yet they are in NATO and we are supposed to defend them if they are attacked.
Then there is France, which at the rate they are going will become the first MAJOR ISLAMIC NUCLEAR POWER in not-too-many years. And they get access to much American technology in the meantime. (France has a significant nuclear arsenal.)
Trump was right during the campaign when he called NATO obsolete. It has morphed into a nasty globalist creature.
BTW, no other countries except the U.S. and the U.K. really contributed much to the European portion of the encirclement of the USSR.
